Well we had a tough Saturday, with both of us going 5-8-1, but the games were fun to watch. Stanford found a way to push, although Vince got them at 7.5 so he actually won money there. Washington had a nice cover, it was a game that Dave and Vince liked but didn't have on the board. Those late two covers for Vince made all the difference. Did anybody see that ugly South Carolina Tennessee game? 17 total points scored, neither team really looked like they wanted to win, but the Gamecocks did enough. Another game not on our board, but maybe the game of the day was Mizzou @ A&M. The Tigers righted their ship by pulling out an OT victory in College Station. I know Dave will add some comments on Monday about the dismantling of the Wildcats that was done at the hands of the Sooners. Now that team looked like a national title contender, too bad they let that slip away last week. Clemson falls from the ranks of the unbeaten, and they weren't even ever in that game, Arkansas almost blows their season against Vandy, what the heck? Iowa State blows out Tech? Really? Tech comes out flat after a huge win, sign of a team that doesn't know how to be a big deal, young players who haven't won very many big games. After OK State dominates Baylor, is anybody ready for the OU/OK State game? I know that is going to be awesome! And finally please tell me you caught the end of the Wisconsin and Ohio State game? Holy cow! I think Gus Johnson might have had a heart attack if he was the one calling that game. Wisconsin comes from behind and takes the lead and then gives up a huge touchdown, excitement for sure. They go from potential national championship to watching Curt Cousins complete a Hail Mary and then Braxton Miller, who completed 7 passes in the game, completes a 40 yard TD to basically close out the game. What a great finish! Didn't win any money there but just love football, and these games have been exciting, see USC/Stanford!
A lot of big lines in the NFL today, which really scares me. I keep stats on almost everything and so many times in the NFL the favorites do not cover. But it makes you think, Vegas has to know something, if this many games have 9+ spreads Vegas is trying to prove something. 6 games with spreads of 9 or more, that is half of the games today. It is hard to lay that many points, but Dave and I are doing it in quite a few. I am most excited for the Monday Night Game, as a Chief's season ticket holder, I can't wait. I remember last year in the rain, and just how much fun it was, and how that game set the tone for our season. I will tell you right now, Chiefs can set the tone for the rest of the season tomorrow night! Some big games today, Patriots @ Steelers, Cowboys @ Eagles, and some big games under the radar, Bengals @ Seahawks, Vikings @ Panthers, Lions @ Broncos with all the Tebowing! I mean I am ready for some football. How many upsets do you see today? Do the Colts get in the win column in Tennessee or does Chris Johnson actually make an appearance? Can Miami get a win in New York? Who sets themselves apart as the best team in the AFC? Patriots or Steelers? The Packers, oh wait they are on a bye, we will go ahead and give them another win! Hope you guys enjoyed the games yesterday, and hope the games today as just as enjoyable!
